Operations Intern (Spring Semester)

Operations Intern - Spring 2027 Academic Calendar Priority deadline will be September 18th, 2026 at 5pm PT

About UnCommon Law UnCommon Law fights to ensure that all people incarcerated for violent crime have access to healing, justice, and effective legal representation. Through our unique, trauma-informed model of advocacy, we provide the space currently missing in the system for healing, accountability, and safe pathways home from prison. In developing new self-narratives, the people we serve are able to more effectively disrupt violence inside and outside prison and become leaders who change negative societal narratives about those incarcerated for violent crime. Our groundbreaking approach is changing policy and outcomes, driven by the voices and experiences of system-impacted communities.

About the Role

UnCommon Law has an opening for one undergraduate intern (any major) to join our Operations and Finance Team. This internship is designed as a hands-on learning opportunity for students interested in understanding how a nonprofit organization manages its day-to-day operations and the internal systems that support its programs and staff. Through projects, training, and ongoing guidance, the Operations Intern will gain experience with administrative processes such as reception, correspondence, office systems, and records management, while learning how these functions work together within a nonprofit organization.

The Operations Intern will also have opportunities to build practical skills in professional communication, organization, problem-solving, and collaboration. Assignments will be structured, whenever possible, to help the intern understand why a process exists, how it fits within the organization's broader operations, and how it supports UnCommon Law's programs and mission.

The Operations Intern position is part-time (approximately 15-20 hours/week) over the Spring 2027 Academic Calendar, ideally beginning on January 11, 2027 and ending May 14, 2027.
